[...] JUST WHO MIGHT Ã¢âu201a¬Åu201csheÃ¢âu201a¬Â be? Presumably Ã¢âu201a¬Åu201cwhoÃ¢âu201a¬Â she is was leaked to Dana Priest at the WaPo [Never Yet Melted via Tom Maguire] How stupid does Ms. Priest think Washington Post readers are exactly? It would be a lot fairer too, let me suggest, if Priest also operated openly, and told the world just who it is that planted this story, including savory tidbits of inside gossip about Ã¢âu201a¬Åu201ca former Soviet analyst with spiked hair that matched her in-your-face personality who heads the CTCÃ¢âu201a¬âu201e¢s al Qaeda unit,Ã¢âu201a¬Â who it is who is recklessly prepared to discredit and compromise US efforts to prevent terrorist attacks on large Western civilian population targets in order to avenge in-house slights, bring down rivals, and gain partisan political advantage.

I agree with the sentiments from the left: we should only be interrogating actual terrorists and not the innocent. Maybe we should require them to wear nametags to aid in the approach – or at least put a big letter ‘T’ on their forehead in magic marker.

Nobody likes to see an innocent, if he truly was an innocent – can you really count on somebody trying to kneecap the Bush administration a fair reading of the other side? – unjustly punished but the implicit suggestion that any actions we take must be mistake free is ridiculous. If this is the worse we have done – and if this leaker had something better he would certainly have used it – I can live with it and I’m okay with the secrecy IF there are at least two branches of the gov’t involved – and I presume that this program would have congressional oversight.

They pout on purpose. They all see psychitrists to keep them in line, which is the essence of the global intelligence community. The more screwed up they act, the more they got away with.

‘See what I had to do for my country,’ etc. is all an act. If America can be fooled that easily they are just going to laugh. They’re all ‘bad actors.’

Notice they are all retired and for Plame not being indicted for treason. They know she is guilty.

It’s funny watching you conservatives try to dodge the fact that our government is torturing innocent people. I would like to see one of you try to defend the appalling detainment of Khaled El-Masri.

Plame it again, Sam

It looks like disgruntled, Clinton appointed CIA members are leaking once more. Could have Valerie Plame all over again?

“part of the time in Iraq” should read “part of the time in Afghanistan”...

I simpy don’t understand your outrage. A supposedly innocent German citizen is held for 5 months – part of that time in Iraq – and you don’t think that’s a big deal?

Is it because he’s German? A Muslim? Or simply because he’s not American?

Somewhere along the line we as a people are going to have to decide something very important.

“Do we want to live or die”. When it gets down to the nitty-gritty of the Global War on Terror, that’s really all most of us care about – whether or not we and ours are safe.

The time has come for these leaks to be ended. And I wonder why this is not being raised in congress. It would be seen as political if a Republican did this but aren’t there any Democratic congressmen who understand the danger of this type of thing to national security?

Plame II, The Second Coming

The CIA leaked another under cover agent’s name to the Washington Post’s Dana Priest. Time to investigate the Post’s Dana Priest and the ex-CIA agents (VIPS?) who have risked the lives of this agent and her sources. From Tom Maguir…

Here is something interesting from the WaPo article:

In 2000, then-CIA Director George J. Tenet said that “renditions have shattered terrorist cells and networks, thwarted terrorist plans, and in some cases even prevented attacks from occurring.”

Actually, that was Feb 2000, suggesting – are you sitting down? – that the CIA was doing this even before Cheney and Bush opened their World Torture Centers (or whatever Maureen Dowd is calling them).

I have a question. With all the ‘oversight’ that the Senate claim, who is responsible for the ‘oversight’ of a leak such as this CIA/Priest? I consider this and the plane leaks to be treason. For all parties. No, I do not want any PC handling. I call it treason. It is treason. Who is responsible for exposing who the traitors are? At this point, I am only aware of the traitors in the MSM. Why is that?

Thank you and still wondering why more people are not asking the obvious question: Is this not treason?
